"Historic flooding event" in Greece dumps more than 2 feet of rain in just a few hours

Greece is being hit with another round of extreme weather after weeks of experiencing drought, wildfires and intense heat. Within the span of just hours, some areas of the country received more than two feet of rain and at least one person was killed as the storm continued to move toward the Mediterranean Sea where it could transform into what's known as a "medicane."

In Zagora, there was a "jaw-dropping" rainfall of 21 inches from the storm, named Daniel, within just 10 hours on Tuesday, European Synchrotron Radiation Facility researcher Nahel Belgherze posted on social media. 

"An additional 300-500 mm, locally up to 600 mm, of rain could fall by Thursday," he said. "A historic flooding event is underway!"
